To ne Editor Of Tie Reglser.
VIII you kindly indulge n Granger
who was attending the grand unpartisan(?l
Reunion held in your city last week, and
is desirous of making a few pertinent re-
marks in reply to the numerous cock
LOFT interviews with alleged Democrats
published by the rabid bloody shirt Four
teenth street organ. The h~teUigeneer as
serts that Governor Wilson was the aggres-
sor in the Mcclure House controversy.
Now will the Intelligence please answer
q few queries:
Does Governor Wilson on oil occasions
commit open treason by threatening the
Republican Presidents Of our country.
Has not Governor Foraker on all occa-
sions committed high treason by his rabld
threats against our glorious President!
Now every ont knows that Foraker is a
rattle-brained red shirter, who never falls
to make q martyr before n large coneourse
of soldiers, shaking the bloody shirt and
threatening the President Of the United
States.
Do the Republican editors for one mo-
ment suppose that any sane person, who
has read of the former actions of Foraker
and our noble Governor, that the reading
public will believe any such rot" about
Wilson being the aggressor. Why, the
smallest sehool-boy knows Foraker came
here for the purpose of making political
speech, THAT selfsame bloody shirt copy
right OF his), and as the opportunity was
AZ L.. IL Loo
Naturally the Governor of our little
Mountain State had to defend the honor Of
his home, and he did it nobly, even under
the most adverse circumstances
We country people do not blame the
soldiers for hOoting and kissing. 1t was
but natural. We would have done the
same, had we seen u pet abolitionist and
bloody shirt politician so completely tioored
as Governor Wilson did the upstart Fora
ker.
As to the banner hung in front Of the
REGISTER, nothing could be more appro.
pirate than the hanging out Of the Presi'
dents profile. We country people know
full well that on all occasions, in your
city, the hateiigeReer heretofore has hung
out the Republican Presidents pictures
How often has Grants and Hayes pictures
been hung out by the IRteiigeneer? All
and even during this last reunion their
windows were filled with their late Presi'
dents.
OF course they were not such expensive
nor grand pictures as the REGISTER hung
out, but that was to be expected. The
Republicans never were rs generous OF
brave as the Democracy. History shows
that.
We would like the InteLigeReer to point
to one instance since the rebellion where
the Democrats as a party ever offered open
and public insult to the President Of ouI
grand country. No, sir, they cannot show
any instance. Now, on the other hand,
the moment the Democratic party elect q
President they ommence and studiously
embrace every opportunity to insult the
President of the United States.
In closing, / can no better express the
sentiments of farmers than by repeating
what an old soldier said Though he did
not attend the reunion. knowing what il
was He said: THE time has come
when q halt will have to be made. II
won't do for this government to allow any
such reasonable acts to again pass without
melting ont strict Justice.
Hoping the hRteLigeRcer will favor us
with a criticism or be honest and frank
enough to acknowledge their false pre-
misses, we will close.
